Business Smarts - Finding the Right Employee for Your Business Needs (March)

The 2017 Business Smarts Series will focus on working smarter, not harder in your business or organization. As always, our goal is to ensure practical knowledge with immediate benefits to you and your organization.

Do you know that 70% of employees are disengaged at work? That's a troubling statistic! So how do you engage the employees you have AND hire the "right" employees for the job?

The key is understanding yourself, your business culture, and the "work traits" that YOU need in YOUR business. This presentation will give you useful tools to use in the hiring process - from design to implementation - so that you can increase the number of engaged employees and enjoy a "drama free" workplace.
